Hmm, I was just thinking, dangerous I know.

Our house in Maine has a hybrid water heater. That's basically a heat pump 
water heater. Supposed to be way more efficient than resistive heating. I 
wonder if anybody makes a hybrid hot tub...

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

The manufacturer had a manual on their website and I found another “delivery” 
manual that have all the wiring diagrams. I found some other sorta partial 
schematics for the control board so that will help. Found parts too so if I 
need to replace stuff it appears there are sources and supplies. And there 
appears to be forums too.

Re: [MBZ] OT How stupid am i? Hot Tub,$300$400

[G Mann via Mercedes]

If you want a cold "hot tub" wire it all 110V ... If you want a "Hot Tub"..
you will want it wired into 220V with a stand alone dedicated circuit
breaker for the tub.. Plus.. you will absolutely want to wire in a circuit
disconnect "near the tub".. by code, you can't reach anything electrical
while in the tub and wet so plan that into the disconnect location.
Also, you will want a good quality, insulated cover, that can be opened and
closed easily, but seals the tub so critters can't invite themselves into
your new "critter water trough" 
Have fun, plan for your electric bill to increase every time you heat the
tub full of H20... and chemicals,,, and, and, and... etc.

Ask a professional pool person about hot tubs sometime. You’ll never put a 
foot/hand/finger/anything in one again.

[MBZ] OT How stupid am i? Hot Tub,$300$400

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

Lady friend says she would like a hot tub.  Day or so later I see on 
FBMP a hot tub close by for $400, needs a motor/rebuild.  H looks 
fairly nice.  I send her the link, she likes it, I say I could probably 
fix it and get it going. She contacts the guy, he gets back to her says 
she (that would be me) can see it today.  Meanwhile price drops to 
$300.  I go look at it, it has a control board inside that might or 
might not be a little crusty, and stuff has been kinda moved around and 
disconnected, the motor terminals on a relay board look a little burned, 
not sure what that is about.  The unit itself looks pretty nice though.


I'm talking to the guy, he just wants it gone.  I didn't even work him 
over, just said I didn't think the lady friend would want something that 
might not be reliable, I could mess with it, maybe I would use it 
blahblah but I have plenty to keep me occupied blahblahblah and ready to 
walk away, he says how about $200.  hmmm why not? Sold!  Pretty easy deal.


So anyway now I have this thing to mess with (I have to take my trailer 
over to get it tomorrow). Basically it looks like a motor, pump, and 
heater, it has some kind of controller and some various boxes that look 
maybe to control other things down in the mechanical area, maybe the 
jets or something if they have solenoids on them, I don't know.  I think 
the pump body itself is gone but online I found some fairly cheap.  I'll 
try to find a manual for the thing and a schematic to figure out what 
goes where.  There are local motor rebuilders so I will take it to one 
and see what might be wrong with it, could just be the capacitors or 
something, I don't know much about electric motors.  Looks like it can 
be wired 110V or 220V either way, I'll see what that is about to at 
least use 110V to see if I can get it running. It looks basically like 
your standard HVAC unit motor, I think I have one kicking around 
somewhere, it just needs to bolt up to and run a pump.


I'm thinking if all it really needs is a motor switch, a heater switch, 
and something to open jets I could just hard wire switches to those bits 
and bypass the controller board if it is inop, hit the buttons when you 
want to use it and bypass whatever the controller thingie does.


Fun times expanding the boundaries of my stupidity!

Re: [MBZ] ML320 Running board.

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

No, they are not. They are a part of an assembly that is the running board 
itself. In other words, a new running board if you want nice little black dot 
thingies. Mine are discolored, and nothign I do seems to bring them back. Not 
sure what they’re made of.

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

So many questions about this

It runs. Right now, there is an oil leak and the car may not start 
because it needs to be cleaned of the fuel injectors. The passenger rear 
is very low. I need it gone as soon as possible. I will need to remove 
my belongings if you will buy the car.
